This is not enough information to help. You are trying to PXE boot because you have no CD drive? Unless you do the work to make your own initrd with network support, it wont because upstream doesn't. but one user reported using nfs so you might contact him.
Absent that, for now, you will have to use conventional (cd or usb) installation methods.
Do not trust any method of writing USB except dd
Have you made sure to (a) verify md5/good image and (b) use the usb image and not the cd image (or to run isohybrid on the CD image before writing to usb)? This is what your "boot partition is missing" error sounds like.
Otherwise, use Plop to usb boot from CD/USB on the very old machines. Alternatively, go manual & remove the HD to something that will boot, etc. UEFI (for 4-core) is not available in DSL at this time, so you must choose legacy bios settings for it to work.
If it's easier, you might communicate in the antiX French forum specifying you are using DSL which is based on "antiX 23.1 runit".
